The young tom was still wrapped up in his thoughts when he felt a familiar voice head his way. Mom! With a hopeful expression, he turned to see Otterberry heading over. His tail waved, appreciative that she'd come to his side. He leaned into her nuzzle, not minding at all as the top of his head was groomed. "I h-hope they l-like me," he replied, still a little unsure of those he was going on patrol with. Heathernose and Blazefrost... Heathernose sounded nice at least, while the name Blazefrost sent shivers down his spine. "I-I'm gonna f-find you o-o-once we're ba-ack!"

He watched his mother slither back through the group of cats that had gathered around Breezefeather before turning. Now where are my patrol members? Spotting two cats standing alone and seemingly looking for a third, he figured they must be his group. He padded over, not sure if he should run. You're already late! He picked up his speed, half walking and half trotting over. [B]"S-Sorry. I'm h-here. My n-name is L-Littlepaw
[also if you guys wanted to do the prompt i could totally see little falling into the river l o l]

No your ok,I'm blazefrost, nice to meet you Littlepaw, .I think were allset Heathernose, we can leave I guess we have everyone now *Blazefrost newer to the other warrior as he got up and looked at them both* (sorry for the short reply)

Leafkit sat in her nest, staring aimlessly at the wall of the den. she had done this a couple of times before but this time she hoped to be disturbed, but she didn't realize it.

"Excellent," she replied, keeping her voice level but bright. "...Would you like to head to the entrance closest to here, or is there somewhere else you'd like to explore?" This has got to be the most she's spoken to a single cat in moons. Willowwhisper generally preferred to keep to herself, and express opinions through a simple nod of the head or point of the tail, but right now some more straightforward dialogue was necessary. She didn't mind so much, although it would take some getting used to. She continued to trot on with the silver she-cat by her side as the sun made its way further up into the sky.

Hailpaw thought for a brief moment, she'd been down in the more nearby tunnels once before and so perhaps it was best to start there. They were all connected anyway, no? The apprentice presumed so "the entrance closest to here would be good," she answered, tail tip giving a small twitch. Willowwhisper wouldn't take that as laziness, right? The fact that she chose the nearest one. Hailpaw knew worrying about something as such was only silly but she couldn't help it: when was the last time she had spoken to anyone besides her mentor? Most definitely not that recently. And who could blame her - they'd all just end up disappearing or some even turned out to be a bit aggressive anyway. Ah, but hopefully that wasn't the warrior's case. She seemed... Nice enough, for now, so Hailpaw wouldn't imagine it being so.

Stripeseed sighed. Better get this over with. Cricketfire, eh? He hadn't talked much with the warrior, but he'd heard good things about him. "Over here," he mewed gruffly, beckoning to the tom with a twitch of his tufted tail. He eyed the clearing, searching for Gullpaw. Hopefully, this would go better than his last patrol. At least he wasn't in charge. If he were clan leader on the other hand... he licked his lips. Now, that would be a WindClan with some power!

Standing up, he was surprised and a little concerned at how his joints popped. As a senior warrior, there wasn't that much time left until he became an elder. He certainly couldn't be clan leader if apprentices were picking ticks off his pelt.

“I’m doing fairly well too,”

Heathernose only managed a basic response before their third patrol member appeared. The poor thing couldn’t be older than 6 moons and looked terrified! Immediately in that moment, Heathernose decided that she’d be making taking care of him on this patrol. He was new, she remembered seeing him and his mother when they first arrived.

“Hi Littlepaw, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Heathernose. We’ll be checking the border today so stick by me or Blazefrost and we’ll make sure nothing happens to you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

With that, Heathernose led the way out of camp and into the territory, setting a slightly slower pace than usual to make sure Littlepaw didn’t struggle to keep up.

Stonemask walked into the apprentices den, he didn't look to happy but then again, around apprentices he rarely was. "Nettlepaw! Get out here right now, we're going on a walk!" He didn't care if he woke any other apprentices up at that point, he seemed rather angry.

Nettlepaws head shot up. "I didn't do it!" She said loudly. Then her brain disentangled itself enough for her to realize it was Stonemask. "Stoney! Dear brother what happened? I swear I didn't put those burrs in Stormshadows nest." She said with a chuckle. It was obvious that she was still asleep enough to admit to all her crimes. Nettlepaw rose and padded to her brother. @WinterRabbit5350

[WinterMara]

"This isn't about what you did to Stormshadow specifically, whatever it was" The tom growled a bit. "This is about your general behavior, now come on." He signaled for her to follow him, his look seeming to be even more irritated

"Grumpy much?" Nettlepaw murmured under her breathe. Wait wait what? She was a perfect apprentice! And when did she admit doing anything to her other brother? "I'm coming." She groaned following him. Nettlepaw let her tail drag, making it clear she didn't want to go. @WinterRabbit5350

Rosebriar rested in WindClan’s clearing, her elegantly bushy tail curled around her front, broader and stronger-looking paws. They were nothing at a first glance, but compared to her small and lithe body, slender frame, and perfectly groomed fur, they would’ve stood out. Rosebriar was glad not to be mismatched... like some cats she knew. Her pretty pink nose twitched as she gave her fluffy white chest fur a few licks to make sure that it didn’t look too messy.
I should give my fur a once-over, she thought, bending down. She gave her fur, as soft as down, some licks. Just in case there was a bit of grass or a small bit of tuftiness that she had overlooked. None so far, but who knew? I must look perfect so WindClan will love me, she thought, smiling.
